The Edmonton Sun reports former NFL and CFL CB Perry Carter is about to sign a contract with the Detroit Lions. He's about to sign for about $500,000 this season plus a low six-figure signing bonus. Agent Gil Scott said he and Lions officials are now crunching numbers and Carter expects to sign later this week. A revamping of the team's secondary makes Detroit attractive to Carter. Carter thought he had a deal in the works with the Oakland Raiders by late February, but then coach Jon Gruden left.
